:::AIESEC in Kyiv presents:::
Dear intern! We welcome you on your way to the host LC and wish you to have a
wonderful journey!

This guide is designed for you to make your trip easier in Ukraine ď &#x160; Dive into
Ukrainian culture and experience your unique exchange from the very first
beginning! Incoming Exchange Team in Kyiv congratulates you with the decision
to go for an internship in our country.

First Step: AIRPORT
Kyiv airport is relatively small, though it is
the biggest airport in the country. That’s why
it serves the biggest number of international
routes. The airport is situated 29 kilometers
away from Kyiv, therefore directly after you
landed and passed the customs, took your
luggage you should head away to the exit.
Near the entrance there are buses #322,
called “Polit” which are scheduled at least
every 30 minutes. Full schedule is under the
link :
http://kbp.com.ua/english/transport/buses.schedule.-stops.html.
This bus takes approximately 40 minutes and costs 25 UAH (exchange points will be at the airport;
however we wouldn’t suggest to exchange more than 50 USD, because the rate will be better in the city).

Second Step: TRAIN STATION
The bus will take you directly to the train
station (vokzal, вокзал) Practice
pronouncing it. The train station in Kyiv is
divided into Central and Southern and they
are connected. You will arrive to the
Southern one, which you see on the picture.
Inside you will see “КАСА”, desks where
you can buy tickets.
When buying tickets you should say:
 Destination, date
 Number of places
 Type of the ticket
For example, “Cherkasy, today, one,
platzkart” Platzkart is the cheapest normal
class which we usually use.
We advise you to check the schedule of trains http://uz.gov.ua/?lng=uk by using google translator or
asking your host LC to help. You always can find some English speaking people in the train station and
ask for help in case you get lost. The ticket will cost from 50 to 150 UAH anywhere inside of Ukraine.
Every ticket will have your PLACE, NUMBER of TRAIN, WAGON, TIME and DATE of ARRIVAL and
departure, which is important.

Third Step: TRAIN
When entering the train you should show your ticket to the train
attendant and find your place in the wagon. You may receive bed
sheets so you can use the mattress and sleep in the train if your ride is
long enough. Stations will not be announced, so you should look at the
time and be ready to get off at your station.
AND REMEMBER! +380634208925, Svitlana is always ready to help!

The ticket. This is the photo of the tickets for trains.

222 – Number of the train. You also will see the name of connection, in this case Kerch on the
screen to look up from which track your train leaves.
 06.08 16.37 and 01.08 B 13.30 are the dates of departure and arrival.
 01 П is the number of wagon and type of it (Platzkart – Плацкарт). Number will be shown on the
first window of each wagon.
TYPES of WAGONS:
L – with 2 seats separated, soft beds
K – coupe (same as platzkart but there are doors which close 4 of the beds and this is thought to be more
comfortable)
P – platzkart (6 of the beds in each compartment) Odd numbers (e.g. 1, 23, 45) mean that bed is on the
first level, when even numbers of the PLACE mean that your bed will be on the upper level and you will
have limited possibilities to seat (you should only lay or sleep).
O – together (available only for some routes)
 КИЇВ ПАС – КЕРЧ is the connection (Kyiv train station – Kerch)
 МІСЦЯ 002 means PLACE 002 (second seat, numbers will be marked on the seats/beds)
 Г- 104.83ГРН is the price. You can pay only in cash and only in Ukrainian currency. Exchange
points will be on the train station.



On the road: Two of the train attendants will be serving you during your trip in each of the wagons.
You may order a cup of tea/coffee, chips, beer, cookies and some other snacks for additional price. You
will be given bed sheets together with a towel (you should give it back before your arrival) and small
tissues.
As you see, the road to most of the LCs will take around 10 hours, so bring an MP3 player, some book or
other things that you can do besides sleeping.
